Per Mike Vogel, Mike Green will make his return to the lineup tonight (Jeff Schultz will sit), and Nicklas Backstrom and Jason Chimera – both of whom were questionable yesterday – are in. Expect to see these lines and defensive pairings in front of Braden Holtby in net:
Jason Chimera – Mike Ribeiro – Alex Ovechkin
Eric Fehr – Nicklas Backstrom – Troy Brouwer
Wojtek Wolski – Mathieu Perreault – Joel Ward
Matt Hendricks – Jay Beagle – Joey Crabb
That leaves Schultz, Roman Hamrlik and recently recalled Casey Wellman as healthy scratches, and Brooks Laich, Jack Hillen and Marcus Johansson (who was retroactively placed on injured reserve today) out with injuries.
